I’m a teen who has a laptop. I need it. And one day, I just turned it on and I couldn’t log in because it said that it wasn’t genuine. And now I’m stuck with effing Safe Mode. I mean, I know I should be thankful that I’m still able to use it for homework, but I’m a teen for Pete’s sake. SOMEBODY HAVE MERCY AND HELP A POOR LITTLE TEEN AND HER SOCIAL LIFE. Haha, lol.

But seriously, I need this. Please help me, I don’t have dad to help me out, and mom isn’t here either. I have no one else, but you guys. Please.

first of all.. it looks like ur asking for some donation or something.. y bringing out all unwanted points??

If you windows is genuine go to activate windows click activate now then follow prompts it should give you a free number to phone Microsoft they will sort it for you, I had to do this once when I repaired a friends pc. If you do not have a genuine key then go here much cheaper for students -

you have some options that you can do.

first : Buy a genuine windows disc from a retailer in your country and install it.

second : feeling windows is crap... :) many of us geeks do. if so, switch to a free OS like Ubuntu or fedora or some other. They are free and somewhat better in performance than windows.

I would opt for the second. it's your choice now sweety.

you can buy a genuine copy of windows or just use vistaloader( the software that makes the copy of windows currently installed genuine, well displayed as genuine)

Google it mate. Not actually recommending but there are some keys available on Internet for free, so just try them and hopefully it will be genuine.

Hello, I am afraid we need a little bit of info to see if we can help. Did your laptop come with this operating system installed? Was the operating system working ok and then all of the sudden it is telling you it is not genuine? Did you installed this operating system knowing that it is not genuine?

The proper answer would be to get a genuine copy of the operating system. Other users have already given you the option of using the discounts provided to students. The other option you have as already mentioned is to switch to linux which is free operating system.

I think you need to reflash your computer bios and see if slic table gets refresed, then manually validate via internet.
OR BUY A GENUINE COPY OF WINDOWS

Just for you Cla

Head to that link.

Download the file in safe mode.

Unzip it to your desktop.

Run the file.

You have reenabled your windows. You are now genuine again.

Switch to Ubuntu. It's awesome

Logically you should buy the product license. Also, if your school or college has a student campus agreement, then all the students can use the microsoft products legally. Check with your school authorities. However, if nothing is feasible, google download this and run it : [Broken Link Removed]

Following this person's advice will proberly render your system completely useless!

Rajaa Chowdhury

No, it doesn't. It is one of the most tested around the world. However, I do realise it's implications so initially the correct advice has been given.

Alan Wade

Do you know if your copy of Windows is pirated?
Just because you are getting the Ilegal Copy warning does not mean that it isnt genuine!
Is there a sticker with the Windows serial number on your laptop?

If you can't buy a genuine copy of Windows 7, and you don't want to switch to Linux, then just install Windows 8 RP, its free and its Microsoft...and save some money so you can buy a genuine Windows 7 license

Joel Alar

if you are student, you can buy the licensed win7 home edition. This is cheaper than wiin7 Pro.

Last time this happened to me the system date had somehow reset to something like 2004. That will cause this error and its a simple fix.

The question should be is your laptop has a license copy of win 7. if your machine has win 7 pre-installed or you bought a copy for it standalone then you should call MS and ask them for a new activation code. Look on bottom and see if there is a sticker for win 7. that is a good indicator of whether it is legit. if it is a bootleg copy and you like to atill use win 7 then you just have to buy one. if money is an issue, i suggest you re-install the original window to get it going. is there somebody who could help you with that?

Sacha Obado

September 10, 2012 at 8:11 am

I would recommend you purchase a genuine key for windows 7 or you could change OS's to linux. A nice one to try is linux mint 13 maya mate here http://www.linuxmint.com

Nicky Angel

September 10, 2012 at 8:06 am

Well, if you can buy it, go for win 7 ultimate. I know that you updated a 1.2 Mb file from windows upgrade.

Do you have a windows product key? Find the key at the back of your laptop and try to use the key.

Buying a genuine copy is your only option....

Matthew T.

January 17, 2013 at 2:45 am

no it not i have a free version of windows 7 ultimate using a simple loader all you do is open the loader and hit "activate" and it tricks the system into thinking it is activated and genuine

Erlis D.

September 9, 2012 at 7:01 pm

You can buy a product key...
Or you can use a loader! (Which means hacking, something I will not explain it here).
Maybe you should search: Windows 7 Home Premium Loader.
Or contact me! :)

September 10, 2012 at 10:55 am

I found this article on make use of it might lend you a hand with your issue http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/fix-windows-7-activation-countdown-installing-sp1-update/ here is the disclaimer that is included in the article Note: MakeUseOf.com does not condone the use of unlicensed software under any circumstances. It is your responsibility to ensure you own a correct license key for every copy of Windows you own. If you choose to remove the DRM and activation procedures from your legally-purchased software, that is your choice. The least expensive way for you to go genuine would be to get licensed student copy which are fairly inexpensive and you need to be able to verify that you are a student. Here is a link to the Microsoft student store http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/en_US/cat/categoryID.37826100

You'll have to buy a genuine key from the microsoft website.

September 9, 2012 at 6:28 pm

u said u r a teen, so u should be going to school. Microsoft has tie ups with many schools where u can buy genuine OS for very cheap pay,say just $5.

so either buy a genuine OS, or go for Free Linux, etc

Ahmed Khalil

September 10, 2012 at 2:27 pm

Thats wright Microsoft provide license for OS for very cheap rate

julien croy

September 9, 2012 at 5:55 pm

Buy a license key and from microsoft and then activate it on windows 7.

Josh Barrett

September 9, 2012 at 5:31 pm

You could try and take the plunge, and switch os, but other than that, you have to buy a genuine copy.
